THE wIrcHs FATE.
A Cruel Prejudice OF Old Times More
Than Equailed Now.


Not many decades ago In this country the
people were excited over witchcraft Persons
suspected wore thrown into the water; ~ not
witches, they would drown; n they wero
witches. they would swim ashore and would DO
put % DEATH In any event they were doomed
Not many years ago III person were taken
sick with advanced disorder OF the Kidneys
the physician would pronounce the disease
brights disease, and when 80 declared he re-
gafded his responsibility at an end for med
ica authority admitted that the disease was
incnrAble.
Ahen tho physician found patient thus
afflicted he would say, sOh, slight attach OF
tho Aidneys; WILL be all right in little while :
Hs knew 20 the contrary. But II he could kcep
las patient on his hands for n few months
he knew hs would derive great revenue from
his case aud then, when the disease had pro-
crossed TO n certain stage, he would state tho
facts aud retire, exoneratod from all blame
But the error OF surprising the disease in
durable has sweycd tho public mind long
alter the fact has ceased 10 DO. But public
opinion has been educated 10 the true status
o. the case by those who have discounted the
incurability theory, and the public recognizes
aud ie-i fies to the fact that Warmers safe
cure Il specific for this disease. This has
been shown with thousands OF testimonials.
Upon referring 10 them in our files we find
that $4,000 reward will DO given 10 any one
who can prove that 10 far as the mannfactur-
ers know they are not genuine, and that hun
dreds Of thousands similar in character could
be published II IL we're necessary.
This condition OF things Is very amusing 10
the journalist, who looks upon all sides OF
every question. Proof should be accepted by
al. but prejudice fights proof for many years.
IL seems strange that when n proprietary
medicine In doing the good that Warmers safe
cure IN that the physicians do not publicly in
dorso u. Many Of them. We arc toll, privately
prescribe H.
A few years ago, az stated, when a man had
Brights disease, the doctor bodily announced
Il. because he thought II relieved him OF re-
eponsibiity
To-day when prominent people arc dying
land hundreds OF thousands OF common peo-
pie die OF the same dseaso), wo arc told that
doctors Disguise the fact that IL Is Brighrs q s.
ease OF the kidneys, and say that they die OF
paralysis, OF apoplexy, OF pneumonia, OF con
sumption, OF general debility, Of rheumatism
of heart disease or blood poisoning, or some
other OF tho names OF tho direct effects OF
kidney disease. They are not the real disease
itself
We sometimes wonder IL they avoid stating
tho real cause OF disease for fear they viii
drive the public into patronage OF the only
scientific proprietary specific for kidney dis
eases and The thousand and one Diseases that
originate In inactive kidneys.
We do not believe every advertisement. We
read Some people perhaps NAV regard this
lieve IL, but we are candid enough 20 say that
we believe the parties above mentioned have
stated thoir caso and proved II, and under such
circumstances the public II unwiae II II is
longer Influenced by adverse prejudice
